IittalaTaika Bowl, Red, 0.3L

I have a lot of hair. A LOT. Like, wow, who is that Wookiee over there LOTS. I have looked into having a third arm surgically implanted (Is this a thing? Who would do it? Vascular surgery? Orthopedic surgery?These are the questions that keep me up at night🤔) because my shoulders are so tired holding up a dryer and a round brush for eternity. I briefly considered making a workout video (“Toned Arms: the Hairdryer Workout”), but was informed by fitness people that there isn’t a market for a 75-minute focus on the anterior deltoids. I almost have to wake up BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP in order to have enough time to dry my hair before work.This thing took me 8 minutes. I naturally assumed, upon finishing, that I had entered some sort of Amazon-created beauty time warp. I checked with my husband, in the next room, and in fact I did not go through a blowout wormhole. The silkier-than-silk style was accomplished by this miracle of a brush in 8 minutes (several more minutes were lost to running my hands through my hair and flicking it over my shoulder while smiling coquettishly in the mirror).If you struggle with an over abundance of hair like I do, seriously consider giving this amazing contraption a try.

PROS: Creates glossy, silky. smooth hair styles best for long, thick hair. Removes unwanted waves and curls. Dries and styles very quickly.CONS: Really too big for shoulder length or shorter, and layered styles. Straightens hair, removes body.I have layered, slightly longer than shoulder length hair that is fine textured but thick. As hair classifications go, it is "2A" or as I used to call it, "wavy-straight." I color it and it tends to be dry, especially at the ends. I usually style it by blowing it dry with a 2" round brush, which creates waves and lots of long lasting body.This Revlon One Step dryer-brush has gotten lots of hype and I was curious to see how it would work for my hair.I searched it out in retail beauty stores. I've held it in my hand and was concerned that the brush head, which is 4.25", would be too large a surface for my layered, mid length hair. It's a big and fairly heavy device and felt clunky. I was also concerned about the heat burning my hair.When Amazon Prime Day came, I fell for the super duper price and bought the One Step.The brush head is a flattened oval with bristles. The hair is supported well by the bristles which keeps the hair close to the openings in the brush. There is no knotting or catching of the hair which is able to run smoothly through and around the bristles as it dries.There are three heat settings: "Hot," "Warm," and "Cool." The controls are at the end of the brush handle, and while well marked, are nearly impossible to change while using the device. I'm used to a hand held pistol-shaped dryer that allows one to switch temperatures, air strength, or from hot to cool on the go...with one hand. I have yet to be able to do this with the One Step.You divide your hair into manageable sections and run the brush repeatedly through the hair from roots to ends until it is dry and styled. If you place the shorter end of the oval close to the scalp, you will get some lift. If you place the wider sides of the oval close to the scalp, you will straighten and flatten your hair. If it is long enough, you can wrap your hair around the brush as it dries. If you place the short end of the oval at your ends and hold the brush for a few seconds, you'll get a small wave or flip.I found that the One Step dried my thick hair very quickly, faster than with a round bristled brush. My hair was very smooth, glossy, and close to my head. I would have preferred more "root-lift" especially at the crown, but I have had professional blow outs that looked similar to what I got with the One Step. All in all, the results were surprisingly good...even for such a large brush head.Instructions warn that if you have fine or dry hair to only use the "Warm" and not the "Hot" setting. This is very good advice and it should be followed. Only use the "Hot" setting if you have very thick, wavy, curly coarse hair.NOTE:If you check out the product page, you will notice that Revlon has a comparison picture of this "One Step 4.25" Head" brush and a smaller headed brush device which it recommends for shorter or layered or wavier hair styles. This smaller device is called "The Titanium Max, 2.4" head."Before I purchased this "One Step 4.25 head," I went in search of the 2.4" version. A large box store that starts with a "C" and ends with an "O" has an exclusive on this item, and of course, it was completely sold out. This smaller headed item was not on the Revlon web site. I contacted Helen of Troy (who makes these items for Revlon) Customer Service. The CS rep seemed to know nothing about the "Titanium Max" but told me, incorrectly that the "One Step" on Amazon had a 2.4" head. She also told me that a 1.5" headed brush dryer might be released by around the end of December. So, Revlon knows a good thing when it sees one and is expanding the line, but has yet to update it's Customer Service department with any correct or meaningful information.NOTE: I revisited the C****O web site and was able to purchase a single "Revlon One Step Titanium Max 2.4" Head" dryer brush. It should arrive in about five days. I'll review it on the bottom of this review after I play around with it a bit.NOTE 11/5/2020: C****O cancelled my order for the Titanium Max 2.4 Head. Sigh.After a bit of research I discovered that the Hot Tools brand is also owned by Helen of Troy and has a One-Step brush drier in the smaller 2.4" size virtually identical to the one described (but unavailable) from Revlon.I settled on the Hot Tools Professional Black Gold One-Step 2.4" which I purchased from Amazon for twice the price of the Revlon One Step. I selected the Black Gold because it had a ceramic coating that is supposedly best for fine, easily damaged hair. The head is also removable and can be exchanged with a 4.2" head, should I wish to purchase one separately. I like having that option. I'm going to try out the new Hot Tools for several weeks and will review it then.

I have used a hair straightener on my very very very thick, wavy hair for the last 25+ years - because a blow dryer just didn't do it or get it straight enough (for my liking). I had waved off hair dryers. But something screamed at me to buy this. I am so glad I did. Since the very FIRST day I have used this, my hair is on FIRE. Every morning I blow my hair with this, and I get stopped multiple times a day, EVERY DAY by people asking me if I got my hair done at the salon that day. No, I didn't. Revlon came through with the greatest hair product ever. Bless up.

I bought this for a Christmas gift for my hair dresser. I recieved one from ny daughter in law last Christmas, and absolutely love it. A couple months ago, when I had my hair appointment, my hair dresser was short on time, so I brought mine with me for her to use. It was a big time saver, and she did such a beautiful job on my hair. Now I bring it with me, every time I go. I have been watching for a sale so I can buy her one at a reasonable price. So when this went on sale on Amazon recently, I bought it for her. When I finally give it to her, she can use it on my hair, plus other clients hair. I think she will love it. What a perfect Christmas gift!

I bought my first one in 2016 or so, and then a backup in 2019 that I keep in my luggage for travel. They both still work well, and I haven’t used my blow dryer since having these. I’ve tried the newer (smaller) one, but the original is much better for shoulder length or longer hair.My hair is wavy with almost ringlet curls in the back and around my neck. I start drying in the back at the nape of my neck and sides closest to the neck - hair is smooth and ringlet free after a few passes.I do try to wait until my hair is partially air dried before using this; using on very wet hair can just be a frustrating experience.

This is much more than a hair dryer. It quickly dries your hair without damage or drying out. There is minimal breakage to the hair follicles, if any. It leaves my hair shiny and very well shaped. It cut down on my drying time as well as styling time. I like the long chord, which makes it easier to brush, shape and dry. It never gets too hot and cools off quickly once you are done using it. There is a reason this is the number one rated hair dryer and I am extremely pleased with it.

In the summer my hair is curly, no dryer needed. In the winter, no such luck. This is the best tool I have ever found for drying and straightening my hair bar none! I have worn two out since I discovered it a few years ago. One was a want to be that didn’t last very long but my Revlon lasted a couple of years until I inadvertently left it at a hotel and of course it was nowhere to be found when I called back. I love it I just wish I hadn’t lost it! Love my new one!

A pretty little bowl, good for nuts, or a small serving of ice cream. Not so delicate you'll be afraid to use it. Very cheerful, I wish it weren't seasonal, as the red can be hard to find outside Christmastime.

The two bowls arrived safely and in good condition and exactly when expected - all good.

Beautiful genuine Ittala. Heuva!

El producto se anuncia como set cuenco 6 unidades. Resulta que solo te envían 1 cuenco. Inexplicable. Además a la hora de devolverlo, el vendedor (Erkmann España) me dice que tengo que pagar los gastos de envío yo porque el error del anuncio es de Amazon, no de ellos y que por tanto ellos no tienen que compensarme. Y no obstante el anuncio sigue diciendo Set de 6 cuencos! Vamos, que no parece que Erkmann España vaya a hacer nada para solucionar el problema que según ellos no es suyo. Menudo timo!

sehr gut zu kombinieren mit den Elementen Taika weiß und Taika blau. Ich war überrascht über den relativ günstigen Preis, weil in Skandinavien weitaus teurer.
